Rooted is hands down the best coffee shop in the area and I love coming here! My favorite order is any latte and the Oh mega donut, and my kid love, loves the "healthy" donuts too. There's no official indoor seating but we love sitting out on the covered patio. The vibes are always so pleasant. They're always coming out with new flavors, and everything we've tried has been delicious. The avocado toast is amazing, the green goddess is a favorite, and I love their chickpea salad to go too. The employees are always happy to see you and so friendly, and the other people you run into there are just as nice. They even have little toys for the kids, which is such a nice touch, especially in the weekends when the waits are longer (pro-tip: order online before going). Just a happy place to go for delicious coffee and food. Definitely a treat! read more

I used to come here alll the time. Ordering online is super easy! My go to is a maple matcha latte. Creamy, flavorful and delicious. Staff is so sweet and friendly! This is one of my favorite weekend spots in the summer since it is only outside seating. Seating is shaded which is great! Parking is also pretty good on a normal day! read more

I struggled with deciding to rate this at a 4 or a 3 so I think I'm going to go with a 4 but consider this a 3.5. To start, the employee working at the cash register was super friendly and gave great suggestions on drinks and food to order based on how sweet we like things or more coffee for we may want things to be. There isn't really any indoor seating space but they did build out into the parking lot with a few picnic tables and chairs for people to stay and eat their food. While we both really enjoyed the food - both of which were recommended by the employee - the coffee was not good at all. Pro: the avocado toast that we ordered had a curried chickpea salad on top and it had a delicious flavor. That was probably my favorite bite! We also shared half order of the blueberry waffle, and it had a type of granola on top that provided some really great textures. The food certainly impressed me. Con: Both of us felt like the coffee had none of the flavor that it was supposed to have (we both ordered the cardamom maple iced latte with macadamia nut milk) and instead, it just tasted like milk. It didn't even really have a coffee forward flavor. Since this is a coffee shop that was a pretty big disappointment. Overall, we enjoyed the food and service, but would skip the coffee. read more

Rooted Coffee - Make it fresh and churro matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

No milk.... ??? Very nice of them. But milk is essential in coffee. It cuts the acidity. Enhances creaminess. Especially if you drink espresso. One thumb down. Buy some organic milk. Also. The inside area is very confusing. Apparently I walked right past the small order counter and into the prep area. No one was manning the cash register. Good coffee. Good ambience. But Buy some cow milk. read more

First time here and it was great. It's awesome that the entire menu is vegan! The donut was so good that I ate it before thinking about taking a pic. I live in SoCal and I wish we had a place like this back at home. read more

Rooted Coffee - Iced vanilla latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

I love their Omega donuts, which are healthy and delicious! The breakfasts are awesome from their different avocado toasts, to the waffles & chia breakfast pudding. The drinks are yummy like the homemade chai tea, matcha tea & coffee lattes. Many alternative milk options and macadamia nut milk is a personal fav. Other food and drink options as well. Love the outdoor patio at the Pleasant Hill location. The crew is always super nice! I guess you can see I'm a regular. read more

Yum delicious vegan place that had lots of delicious vegan donuts (some gluten free) So many delicious drinks and lattes all vegan ! Can't wait to come back. Staff is nice and expect a line in the morning! read more

Stoped by yesterday on my lunch, ordered a churro latte iced with oat milk The taste was delicious and creamy great service and great ambience . Would come back to try the matcha. It looked delicious but I needed coffee. read more

Great gluten free options and groovy coffee. Sweet location and outside patio. A Poet's Corner staple, and lovely to walk on the Contra Costa Canal Trail after. read more

Stopped by for coffee near the location I was in, and I am very satisfied that they offer gluten free options for pastries and food items. Today I got a gluten free pumpkin pastry and a seasonal drink (hot Ube coconut latte). For both items I spend about $12. The place is small and cozy, there is seating area right outside, staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend to try this coffee shop if you are in the area! read more

Very cute neighborhood coffee shop. Coffee and matcha were good. The outdoor space is big but the inside is small. Not really enough space inside to hang out. Small parking lot but got lucky with parking in the front. Will be visiting again when the weather is nice and if I feel like having my drinks outdoors. read more

Small coffee shop tucked away on a residential street. Brown sugar latte, iced with oat milk was tasty. Tried the kind and nutty waffle which was wonderful. Ordered Full size since I shared with my daughter, but you can get a half. The waffle was thick, crispy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. The fruit on top was fresh. The blueberry donut was tasty but simple. It was basically a cake donut with blueberry frosting. I thought the whole donut might have been blueberry. Service was great and the outdoor setting area is covered. read more

the iced maple matcha w oatmilk was so good! definitely my favorite matcha in the area- the matcha flavor is strong and the matcha powder is good quality. this cute coffee shop is conveniently located in pleasant hill, with a large menu and lots of seasonal drinks too. there is a large outdoor seating area with benches, which was the only thing i was disappointed about as there is no indoor seating, and i wanted to go there and do work but no biggie. read more

I love this Rooted location. With their outdoor seating and friendly staff, it's always pleasant. I am a regular. Their online ordering system is convenient.

Staff is always positive and in good spirits, which is also reassuring and makes the visit enjoyable. read more

Cute place, love how it's very community driven, and there were a lot of people which lead me to believe it was good. I got the lemon elixir iced. I absolutely love lemon, ginger, turmeric drinks. This would be sooooo good if the water they used didn't taste like it came from a hose. The water quality used in making these drinks is so poor, it compromises the taste. I also got an oat milk latte, iced. Same situation as above - the water tastes like it came from a hose. Tastes very dirty and metallic. We got avocado toast which was great. Perfect crunch and loved the balsamic drizzle. read more

This is a cute place and not too crowded at 10:30 AM on a Saturday. They work fast. There is also plenty of seating outside with umbrellas. The coffee was pretty pricey but they offer plenty of options. Also, very rare to find coffee shops that offer so many milk options, especially macadamia. Their snacks look yummy too, but we didn't get to try anything this time around. I ordered their maple matcha latte and it was divine. Real matcha too! The bf ordered the strawberry basil lemonade and didn't even share haha. I definitely would come back again and support this small business. On a nice day, it's a great spot to hang out with friends and not too loud. read more

Matcha latte avocado toast, nice people, clean environment and everything vegan - perfect for post workout.

Rooted Coffee has been in my bookmarks for quite some time. My visit was on a Sunday afternoon; this was probably the worst time for a sit-down. Parking was a challenge; the wait was about 20 minutes, and there was nowhere to sit. Luckily, Their tiny, mounted tables on the lot are not only adorable but perfect for a quick coffee sit-down. The Lavender Matcha Latte with oat milk did not disappoint! The beautiful presentation and taste made it worth the wait. The atmosphere was chill with good music vibes, and the staff were friendly. Pros: -Matcha lavender latte -Good for small groups -Food options *I have yet to try -Cute mini tables Cons: -Busy location -Limited seating -Limited parking Dear Rooted Coffee, I'll be back to try your raving avocado toast. dos vientecinco dos mil viente cuatro read more

More Than Just Coffee: A Plant-Based Dream at Rooted Coffee Rooted Coffee may have coffee in its name, but don't let that fool you. They are so much more than just a coffee shop. As a gluten-free, primarily plant-based chef, I am always on the lookout for places that nourish both my body and soul, and Rooted Coffee has become one of my go-to spots. Their menu is a dream, with most items being gluten-free, including their baked goods, and all are made with whole, plant-based ingredients. From avocado dream toasts to parfaits, salads, and waffles, the food is both nourishing and delicious. As someone who teaches plant based cooking classes, strength and qigong classes, I appreciate being able to refuel with satisfying meals that align with my dietary preferences. I know when I visit Rooted, I'm going to get high-quality, wholesome food and a hot matcha to warm me up and keep me going and I don't have to cook it I've had the pleasure of dining at both their Walnut Creek and Pleasant Hill locations. Walnut Creek offers both indoor and outdoor seating, which is great for different weather conditions. Pleasant Hill, while only offering outdoor seating, has heaters to keep things comfortable, and I tend to frequent this location more since it's closer to my classes. I recently took someone who is not plant-based or gluten-free to join me for a meal after one of my classes. They were a bit hesitant at first, but after trying the food, they shared how much they enjoyed and couldn't wait to go back! It's always great to see how Rooted's menu can appeal to everyone, including kids, regardless of dietary preferences, proving that plant-based and gluten-free options can be both delicious and satisfying for all. read more

Rooted Coffee - Avocado dream toast and avocado dream *make it sunny* - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

I was so excited to come here on a beautiful Monday afternoon and it was the place to be! So much seating outside and everyone had smiles on their faces. I've tried the matcha & pastries at the Walnut Creek location so I knew I was in for a treat already. The service was awesome and I got my order fairly quickly! My iced matcha latte with oat milk was well made (I'd like to say I'm a matcha connoisseur...hehe) & the GF chocolate chip cookie was awesome. It was nice to sit outside and bask in the sun whilst enjoying my food. Great location in Pleasant Hill. It's so lovely! 10/10. *For any first timers, there's a parking lot so it's easy to find a spot even in the afternoon! read more

This is our go to coffee shop. Both are great but we prefer pleasant hill. I'm a huge fan of all things avocado and their avocado dream toast is my all time fav when it comes to avocado toast. The cashew cream, the bread and the red pepper flakes make for a perfect snack/meal. The coffee selection is nice and my fav is the matcha with brown sugar (warm). I do the iced variation when the weather is warmer read more

Finally had a chance to try the Pleasant Hill location with a friend this morning! I had the vanilla mint latte and make it fresh avocado toast. Latte had a nice balance of vanilla and mint. They do not skimp on the avocado and it paired nicely with the balsamic vinaigrette. Friend had green tea and the strawberry chia pudding. I tried some of her pudding, which was very good (also my first time trying chia seeds - they taste a bit like very mini boba). The barista who took my order was friendly and even complimented me on my koala shirt! Only downsides are that space is limited and they close early compared to the WC location. I actually tried to come here one afternoon with another friend and we didn't realized they closed early. I would have taken a star off for closing earlier than WC, but they let us stay outside even though we left around 1:15-1:20 pm. We will be back! read more

Rooted Coffee - Vanilla mint latte and avocado toast - make it fresh! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

Pretty cool coffee shop with outdoor seating. I went in to order a matcha latte and came out with two avocado toasts for both myself and my teen. We ate outside for the first half our toasts and left because it was windy and chilly. My matcha was yummy and perfectly frothed. The avocado toast with the chickpea salad was delicious! I'll return if I'm in the area but forego the food, just due to pricing! read more

My go to spot during my admin program at the county office of Ed. We showed up with group orders in person and to go. Everything was perfect. Orders always correct. I will five a heads up that even the "plain, traditional" avo toast has a kick. If sensitive to spice be aware and tell them no chili flakes. There are several picnic tables outside if choose to stay. No indoor dining. read more

My family and I come here whenever we're around the area, and this place never disappoints! The atmosphere is super warm and welcoming, and pet friendly!! We also met the owners and they were super kind and had such a wonderful interaction with them. I definitely recommend their donuts and the lattes are absolutely delicious. I am a huge café lover and this is definitely one of my favorite spots. read more

Rooted Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

Visited this spot because my friend is gluten free and she enjoys the variety of options! I got the brown sugar latte with oat milk and the espresso was somewhat bitter. I noticed they used Oatly oat milk (I prefer Califa barista milk). I think if the expresso was smoother and they changed milks the latte would be amazing! The Avocado Dream Make it Sunny toast was refreshing, lemony, and the chili flakes added a subtle kick to it. Service was great, staff are extremely friendly & efficient. There is a cute outdoor seating area, but if it's rainy it wouldn't be ideal. read more

I came here on rainy day to meet up with a friend to talk and didn't realize that they had NO tables on the inside. We ended up talking outside on the tables but FYI, there's no tables in there! I didn't realize that this place was a vegan place either. HOWEVER, as a non-vegan, it's fine. I got a horchata latte with oatmilk and it was quite tasty! It was expensive though. We ended up talking for a few hours and the workers came out to give us some treats that they would have to throw away anyway. I got some chia seed pudding and overnight oats and the chia pudding thing was AMAZING. I could eat an entire vat of it. 5/5 stars because the service was so nice and my horchata latte was yummy. read more

Came here one weekend morning recently. It was drizzling a bit and chilly, but my friend and I decided to sit down in their covered seating area to enjoy our coffee and toast. The location is great, with plenty of parking and covered seating around. Pets are allowed and their service is great. I wasn't a fan of the signature drink I tried, the Golden Milk Latte; it had too much turmeric in the mix which made it too strong for me to drink. My friend tried their Cardamom Maple Latte and loved it, so I'll probably try that next time. I also tried their Open Faced Green Goddess which was really good! It's a loaded grilled cheese with provolone cheese, house pesto, baby kale and avocado. YUM! I'll definitely be back to try some of their other items on their menu! read more

The matcha here is SO GOOD. I live elsewhere but come to visit my family in this area and always go to Rooted and the quality here has me wishing I had matcha of this quality in my neighborhood I miss it whenever I leave read more

Seems to be a very popular coffee place in Pleasant Hill, a lot of people while we were here but plenty of outdoor seating to go around. You get in line to order your food, find a place to sit and they call your name once your food is ready and bring it to you. The guy taking your order was very pleasant and informative about the different coffees. We ordered the vanilla mint latte and brown sugar latte which were average, but the winner was the classic waffle which was amazing. We enjoyed the crispy outer layer but soft in the inside and the ingredients it was made out of just taste healthy. Also, paired with the strawberries and bananas complimented this classic dish. Last but not least, they have a vibrant energetic staff that provided the best service with a smile! read more

Great coffee. They have the best locally roasted beans. The BBQ place next door to them burned down but Rooted is fine.
